It is as amusing to note the effort,
which newly arrived Ameirans make tc
say the word (Which should be pro.
nounced pool-kee) as their grimaces in
learning to like the liquid, writes cor.
respondent of the Philadelphia Pres
from Mexico. They generally begin in
calling it 'pulk," or at best 'poolk,
and end by doing their full share toward
disposing of those $4,000 gallons pei
diem. In its best estate the sour-smelling
stuff looks like thick buttermilk, and
tastes somewhat nastier, if possible, than
spoiled yeast Its beauties were dis.
covered about the year 900 by Papautzin,
a Toltec nobleman. Tradition says that
this ancient benefactor, having sue
ceeded in distilling beverage which
to him seemed fit for the gods, called his
only daughter. Xochitl (the name
signifying "flowers of Tollen'O, and
commissioned her as cup-bearer to the
King. The dusky Hebe was young and
beautiful, and so the Toltec monarch not
only drank and praised the pulque but
straightway fell in love with the maiden.
He would not permit her to return TO her
people, but for many years the old rascal
kept her prisoner in his palace, though
wars and bloodshed, and at last the dis
ruption of the empire, grew out of his
infatuation.

The Philadelphia Press has been max.
ing chemical examination OF the output
Of Philadelphia bakeries. The result is
startling. The amount chromate of lead
used in coloring cakes and buns by the
Quaker City bakers is astonishingly large.
Speaking of the chemists report, the
Press says: sit shows that even at this
season of the year, when eggs are cheap,
and the inducement to the substitution
of lead dye is largely removed, the poi.
sonous material was found in six out OF
twenty-four cases" From May, 1884, to
May, 1887, eleven deaths have occurred
in a certain locality in Philadelphia which
are now believed to have been caused by
poisoned food sold by baker, who is to
be prosecuted at once on the charge OF
homicide. That so many persons should
have fallen victims TO lead-poisoning is
not strange. The effect of compare
lively small quantity of chromate of lead,
or chrome yellow, as it is called, on the
human system is fatal.

The Amir of Afghanistan.

A correspondent of the Journal des
Debdts sends the following account of the
Amir of Afghanistan: "Abdurrahman
in the first part of his career was sol
dier; when he was raised TO the Amirship
he became bureaucrat, a new role for
an Afghan ruler and one not likely TO
appointed work. Two days week are
devoted to his correspondence, Monday
for that with the upper country (llerat,
Candahar, etc., Thursday for that with
the lower country (Cabul, Peshawur and
India. On Tuesday he holds his mill
tary durbar and receives the officers of
the garrison, all of whom dine with him.
1t is also the day of private reception or
Diwan i-Hass On Wednesday and Sat-
urday he administers justice, and admits
the public to his presence, even to the
last beggar. Thisis called the Diwan-i-
Am. Friday is treated as Sunday is in
London-all the bazaars, shops and the
palace itself are closed, the mosques
alone remaining open. Sunday is de-
voted to the Amir's private affairs. The
two most important days are those of the
Diwan lam, for the Amir is above all a
dispenser of Justice. He dispenses it
with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Highway robbers are brought before him
and he hears the charge Then he says
one of two things: 'Bekoushid,' and
they cut their throats, or 'Gargara
kounid,' and they lead them off to be
hung. If an article is lost on the road
no one is allowed to pick it up
If any one does so his hand is cut off.
The Amir is writing his memoirs, be-
ginning with his ninth year, and he is
now forty-two. They will be full of in
terest if the Ghilzais will only allow him
N finish them

Useful Hints.

A few oyster shells, mixed with the
coal used for furnace or large stove,
will cffectually prevent the accumulation
of clinke:s.
To clean satin that has become greasy,
sponge lengthwise, never across the width,
with benzine, alcohol or borax water.
Press on the wrong side.
1t is said that white spots can be re-
moved from furniture by rubbing with
essence of camphor or peppermint, and
afterward with furniture polish oil.
Put small piece of charcoal into the
pot when boiling cabbage to prevent the
disagreeable odor that usually accom-
panies the cooking of this vegetable.
Velvet wears better, il brushed with a
hat brush, by pressing down into the
nap and then turning the brush as on an
axis to flirt out the lint. Do not brush
backward or forward.
Ice is but water Ice, should, there
fore, never be added to anything that
would be injured or injuriously affected
by water, Salads are frequently ruined
in summer by covering them with broken
ice.
The human system consists of fifteen
elements, all of which are found in com
mon wheat. But the -four of commerce
is deprived in a large degree of twelve of
these clements. An improvement in
making flour is evidently needed.

Valley City, Dakota, claims the greatest
prodigy in music in the Northwest. Iti
Blanche Ramer, the four-year-old daugh.
ter of E. 7. Ramer. She plays on the
organ or piano stric tly by note, and reads
the notes with surprising rapidity and ac-
curacy, and always counts her own time
when playing. Her knowledge and OBJ
scrvance in the playing of rests, dots, ac.
cidentals, and in fact all the characters
used in music is unsurpassed by any play
or. Her first appearance upon the stage
occurred recently in the opera house be.
fore the largest crowd ever gathered in
the city, which audience she entertained
by solo on the piano. Blanche's APP
pcarance upon the stage was greeted
with loud and extended applause, when
she was lifted to the piano stool and de-
liberately executed, without single mis-
take or hesitation, TO the astonishment of
everybody present, charming solo, then
retired amid the cheers of the audience
to little rocking chair with the dignity,
grace and composure that would do
honor to Patti.

THE cARk OF CARE.

Like the rnpacious cankerworm that strips
The orchards verdure, leaving stark and
bare
The shrlveled boughlthat else had blossomed
fair,
With promise Of ripe fruit for craving lips,
Care creeps upon us stealthily, and sips
The life-hlOod OF our souls-wilts every rare
Purpose and act--the win TO do and dare
Without one fear of failure or eclipse.
Yield not, brave heart, to such subtle foe,
SO small in its first inroad; set stout heel
On the consuming ravage; hunt IL down
With firm endeavor; blast il with frown
or noble deed; and thou shalt find and feel
Sure handsel of the harvest's overflow.

Lieutenant Dudley Mills, of the British
army, in recent expedition to Shang-
Tung, China, discovered the sculptured
stones near Chiasiang, which he was the
first foreigner to visit. The inscriptions
and figures are cuton the walls of tombs,
and are mainly devoted to the illustra
tion Of moral preeepts. They are said to
be seventeen centuries old, and the frs,
description Of them was given by a Chi.
